Learning to Learn

Last Week our lead team met with Michael Pohl with a very important focus. What is important for our students to learn? Our vision of the Stanley Avenue Learner outlines the skills, dispositions, values and knowledge that we believe are essential for our students in their futures. We looked at the school wide themes that drive our curriculum and investigated potential topics and creative ways to ensure our learning tasks are rich, relevant and engaging. The video clip below is an excellent example of the dilemma facing schools.
